Aloha, I wrote a short piece and managed to lose it before backing up. Doesn't happen often but once in a while ... and it's infuriating especially as there is only one source of blame. So I used a technique that sometimes works, running a 'grep' command on the entire disk partition. That worked and I recovered the story text although I could have rewritten it more quickly in the end. But to get to the point, this left me with a massive 1 GB text file, or "textish" file. I had just installed 0.1.11 and tried it out. It DID load the file which in itself is already a major achievement. Moving around, such as from to top to bottom or especially in reverse, was sluggish, however it's hard to complain about it. It /was/ possible to work with such a massive file, with some patience. That's really something, and Emacs by the way can't match it. -- Bob Newell Honolulu, Hawai`i - Via GNU-Linux/Emacs/Gnus/BBDB
